12:7 The
Lord also will
deliver the
homes of
Judah first,
so that the
splendor of the
kingship of
David and
of the
people of
Jerusalem may
not exceed that of Judah.
8 On
that day the
Lord himself will
defend the
inhabitants of
Jerusalem, so that the
weakest among them will
be like mighty
David, and the
dynasty of
David will be like
God, like the
angel of the
Lord before them.
9 So on
that day I will
set out to
destroy all the
nations that
come against Jerusalem.
10 “I will pour out on the kingship of David and the population of Jerusalem a spirit of grace and supplication so that they will look to me, the one they have pierced. They will lament for him as one laments for an only son, and there will be a bitter cry for him like the bitter cry for a firstborn.
